The Great Gatsby: The Deluxe 1925 Edition

A F. Scott Fitzgerald Classic American Novel

De: Francis Scott Fitzgerald

Narrado por: Helpful Matthew

“Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us.”

Step into the dazzling, deceptive world of the 1920s—a world bathed in champagne, jazz, and whispered secrets. In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald invites us to peer beyond the shimmering curtain of the American Dream, exposing the illusions that lie at its glittering heart. This is not just a love story. It is a haunting elegy for a generation intoxicated by wealth, ambition, and the desperate need to reinvent oneself.

Set in the summer of 1922, the novel is narrated by Nick Carraway, a Yale graduate and World War I veteran who rents a modest house in West Egg, Long Island. His neighbor is none other than the enigmatic Jay Gatsby, a millionaire whose lavish parties draw the elite of New York society—and whose soul remains unreachable, hidden behind smiles, rumors, and a relentless pursuit of a dream long lost.

At its core, The Great Gatsby is a meditation on illusion and identity. Gatsby, a self-made man, is consumed by his desire to rewrite the past and win back Daisy Buchanan, the woman he once loved. Daisy, meanwhile, is both a symbol of beauty and the embodiment of emptiness—trapped in a loveless marriage and a life of superficial luxury. As Nick is drawn into their orbit, he becomes both witness and participant in a tragic story of obsession, corruption, and faded glory.

“You can’t repeat the past.” – “Can’t repeat the past?” he cried incredulously. “Why of course you can!”

But Gatsby’s personal tragedy is only part of the story. Fitzgerald’s novel is also a scathing critique of the American Dream itself—what it promises, what it withholds, and what it destroys. In the glittering mansions of Long Island and the bleak wastelands of the “valley of ashes,” he paints a world where money has replaced meaning, and where hope is both beautiful and doomed.

A thoughtful, unforgettable audiobook.

The narration makes Nick's ethical dilemma even more effective. I highly recommend this adaptation. A thoughtful, unforgettable audiobook.

Gatsby's Charm and Tragedy Shine

The narrator succeeds admirably in making Gatsby's optimistic spirit and ultimate despair real. His voice is as entrancing as Gatsby's personality is to the people of the novel.

Subtle but Full of Depth

This is no loud, showy type of story—it's quiet, introspective, and layered. And that's why it works. The even tone of the narrator means the emotions creep up on you. You're drained of feeling by the end—good thing. Ideal blend of literature and performance.

From Glitter to Grief

The transition from joy to sorrow in this novel is incredible. I adored the way the narrator slowly shifted tone as the novel took a darker turn. A tour de force of storytelling and narration.

A Voice to Fit the Time

The narrator is completely in character with the tone of the 1920s. His tone is the sort you'd hear if you were listening at that time—suave, sophisticated, slightly detached. It assisted in the immersion. I felt that I was hearing a diary from another world. First-class production quality.

Evocative and Beautifully Told

The imagery in this novel is brought out more by the narration. I felt I was strolling alongside Nick, seeing the glitter and the gloom. Gatsby's desperation was heart-wrenching.
